 Joke aside, find a language that's popular around you so you can ask when you stuck or find one that suits your liking. Otherwise get a book

				 Orni10227yThere are really two approaches to this. You could go for a really high level language like python, which reads a lot like pseudo code/English and isn’t too difficult to learn syntactically. That’s more of a top down approach, as you’d later learn lower level languages. Alternatively, you could start low with C (or C++ for the OOP), which would give you a more fundamental understanding of how things work. Personally I started with Java, which was kinda nice because it’s a middle of the road sorta approach. Whatever you pick, you’re not locked into it so don’t stress it too much Orni10227yThere are really two approaches to this.
